TODAY'S TOUCHSTONE


"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly.” 

                                        ~ Theodore Roosevelt  



​Long quote for today. Yes. But such a great message for us. Bestselling author Brene Brown used it in her famous TED talk about vulnerability, in her book Daring Greatly, and on Super Soul Sunday with Oprah. 

Encouraged by Teddy Roosevelt and Brene Brown, let's dare greatly, each in our own way, using the talent and dreams given to us.

With courage,  
Charlene
